Background Information on the IANA Naming Function Review

The IFR is a new accountability mechanism created as part of the IANA
stewardship transition to ensure that PTI meets the needs and expectations
of its naming customers. To that end, its intent is to review PTI's
performance of the IANA naming function against the contractual
requirements set forth in the IANA Naming Function Contract and the IANA Naming
Function Statement of Work. An important distinction is that the IFR is not
an organizational or specific review, and it is not a replacement for the
work of the Customer Standing Committee (CSC).

Scope

The scope of the review entails:

   -

   Review and evaluate PTI’s performance of the IANA naming function
   against the contractual requirements in the IANA Naming Function Contract
   and determine whether to recommend any changes to account for the needs of
   the naming customers and/or community at large
   -

   Review and evaluate PTI’s openness and transparency procedures and
   oversight structures PTI’s performance, including reporting requirements
   and budget transparency
   -

   Review and evaluate performance and effectiveness of the Empowered
   Community ("EC") powers on areas related to PTI/the IANA naming function
   -

   Review and evaluate whether there are any systemic issues that are
   impacting PTI’s performance
   -

   Identify process or other areas for improvement in the performance of
   the IANA naming function, and of the CSC and EC as it relates to oversight
   of PTI


It should be noted that there is a separate Bylaws requirement for a CSC
Effectiveness Review to take place on 1 October 2018, and for the ccNSO and
GNSO to define the methodology for the review. Due to the coinciding timing
of the reviews and the potential overlap in scope, a ccNSO and GNSO
coordination team is working on a proposal of what the CSC Effectiveness
Review is expected to cover so it could be considered for incorporation
into the IFR.

Method of Work

The review team's work will primarily take place telephonically and via
email. The review team will determine whether face-to-face meetings are
necessary to carry out its work.

Per the ICANN Bylaws:

All actions of the review team shall be taken by consensus, which is where
a small minority may disagree, but most agree. If consensus cannot be
reached with respect to a particular issue, actions by the majority of all
of the members of the review team shall be the action of the review team.

Any members of the review team not in favor of an action (whether as a
result of voting against a matter or objecting to the consensus position)
may record a minority dissent to such action, which shall be included in
the review team minutes and/or report, as applicable.

Review team meetings, deliberations and other working procedures shall be
open to the public and conducted in a transparent manner to the fullest
extent possible.

The review team shall transmit minutes of its meetings to the Secretary,
who shall cause those minutes to be posted to the Website as soon as
practicable following each meeting. Recordings and transcripts of meetings,
as well as mailing lists, shall also be posted to the Website.
